This was easily the best module of the series and the players enjoyed it. As a DM, I really enjoyed the "false finish" as it encouraged resource use making the final battle a little more challenging. Likethe previous mods, most of the encounters are pretty easy but made more challenging with the addition of things like a Skull Lord or Death Knight. One of our DMs even included a Beholder Zombie too.
While the story is there if the players look for it, we wished it was more readily available to the players. More lore would have really driven home how bad this threat really was. Ultimately everyone had fun and got to play more high level content so there are 2 wins right there.
I applaud the authors of the series to write a tier 3 arc! I know from experience they are terribly challenging to write and design!
